The Course
|
The Golf Del Sur course is currently the most
extensive on Tenerife. Featuring 27 holes divided into three different
nine hole rounds it has a total playing surface of 800,000 square metres.
Designed by Pepe Gancedo,
one of
the most notable features of this course are the black sand bunkers giving rise
to amazing colour contrasts. The planting of some 8,000 palm trees and
other species together with a backdrop of sea and mountains combine to make
playing here a memorable experience. The course is cleverly situated between the
apartment complexes providing a pleasant green backdrop to the whole resort.
Particularly difficult is the 3rd hole on the north course. To right of the wide fairway is a water hazard, behind which lies an impressive ravine with an ochre coloured rock face, while to the left is a gaping bunker of black sand. Another notable hole is the 2nd of the southern course, par 3 of 193 meters whose green is surrounded by another immense bunker of black sand. Since it's inauguration in 1987, Golf del Sur has been the setting for many top international tournaments including; The Open de Tenerife, The Tenerife Ladies Open and the Shell Wonderful World of Golf Tournament. This course has also been the setting for two golf driving distance records, both of which were set by Britain's Karl Woodward. First he set a new record of 398 yards and then, a few months later, he managed to break the legendary 400-yard barrier with a huge stroke which sent the ball flying 408 yards. |
